Hi! I saw your giveaway post and wanted to submit some prompts (if it's not too late)

1. Sailor Moon, maybe something with her and Tuxedo Mask comforting each other after a battle

2. Hunger Games/Everlark, where Katniss is staring at Peeta and admiring his eyelashes for the 177347th time

It’s never too late for wonderful prompts!! I really tried to go for prompt #1 but tbh, I still haven’t gotten the hang of drawing the SM characters, so prompt #2 it is. And also, how could I ever resist a cute Everlark prompt? 😍

I call it β€œPeeta’s Dream - Surrounded by Katniss(es)”. 😜

I was so surprised to see that zero ships from the THG fandom made it on top 100 ships on ao3 for 2025.

yeah, i just looked at ao3 and did a rough estimate. everlark’s ao3 tag has about 1200 fics, give or take, that were published last year (excluding any that were published prior but update in 2025). the lowest number of new fics for a ship on the top 100 list is almost 1500, so everlark would need like 300 more written in the next year to make the list for 2026.

we’re genuinely losing the plot with people getting upset about fmcs being petite.

don’t get me wrongβ€”it’s 100% deserved in many cases. fatphobia in mainstream media and the Β«itty bitty β€˜i’m not like other girls’ girlypop fmc with a tiny waist (yet somehow curvy with a massive rack) who is super frail but for some reason is able to become a master warrior in the span of a few monthsΒ» trope is overused and undercriticised.

BUT

katniss everdeen has never and will never fall under that category. her thinness is due to the fact that she’s lived most of her life on the brink of starvation. her Β«naturally smallΒ» stature (a physical description repeated throughout the series) is portrayed realistically in providing both hindrances and advantages. she is strong, yes, but she’s also canonically a small person and i’m so sick of people going to bat to say that she’s not because they’re mistaking petiteness for weakness.

while we’re at it, her being well-fed is simply NOT true. having more to eat in comparison to her peers in the seam who are literally starving to death does not mean that she actually had enough to eat. she didn’t. she ate more than her neighbours and had access to a healthier diet, but that doesn’t mean it was enough.

even peeta and dellyβ€”who actually did have enoughβ€”rarely had access to fresh food. food insecurity is a very real problem across the district. that’s. the. point.

when you see a post in the tag that literally misinterprets katniss’ entire character, like completely contradicts things said outright in canon, and instead of posting screenshots of exact quotes to prove them wrong, you just scroll past.

the thing about saying everlark aren't big on pda post mockingjay when they're properly together is all well and good but idk if it's the truth.

sure, they aren't making out like they were on the victory tour, but these two were walking hand in hand down the street when they weren't together, no one was watching them and cameras weren't around.

I think their quietly pda, pda in a way that they think no one is watching but actually everyone has noticed and they just respect them too much to say anything about it plus every one in 12 would think it's sweet

I said it before but I can’t find my post 😭 but I don’t think they’re making love on the sidewalk but never in canon did Katniss or Peeta care who was watching them when they held hands or cuddled or kissed, even when there was no cameras to play to or show to put on. So I highly doubt they would care post mockingjay either πŸ˜‚.

When Bella finds out she’s pregnant in BD, she mentions that her last period was 16 days before the wedding (the wedding took place on August 13th 2006) and that at the time of her phonecall with Carlisle (which was 17 days after the wedding) she was 5 days late. She also mentions that her period is never late.

This means that her cycle is 28 days exactly (16+17-5) and that her last period began on July 28th 2006. That was also her last period EVER btw because then she got pregnant and then was immediately changed.

So I counted backwards to every single one of Bella’s periods, from her last one before she changed, to the first one after she moved to Forks. The results:

To elaborate, Bella was on her period:

  • When she first met Edward at biology class (January 18th 2005)
  • At the meadow (March 12th) and baseball game (March 13th)
  • The first time she heard Edward’s voice in NM (January 16th 2006)
  • When she bought the bikes and she started repairing them with Jake (January 17-18th)
  • When she and Jacob did homework together and she invited him to the movies (February 14th)
  • The day she realized Jacob is a werewolf (March 11th)
  • Quite possiblyΒ when she jumped off the cliff, depending on how long it lasts for her (March 16th)
  • WhenΒ  Jacob confronted Edward and Bella about the treaty and gave Bella back her motorcycle (April 7th)
  • When Edward caught Riley’s scent at Bella’s house (June 2nd)
  • AtΒ the Quileute bonfire (June 3rd)
  • When Jacob went missing in BD (Late June/Early July)

So… yeah that’s what I did today.

what I love most about this is it implies a lot of the events of the series were caused by Bella being on her period 😭

link to Chapter 1
β€œBetter get used to it,” I say. β€œIt’ll just be you and me soon.” He lifts one eyebrowβ€”barely a movement, but somehow it feels like a whole lecture. β€œBoy finally get sick of you?” β€œNo. But he will be.” my voice comes out meeker than I intended. The alcohol must not be working. β€œHe’ll realize I’m not meant for this. He probably already hasβ€”he brought up couples who separate months ago. He’s smart. He’ll figure it out soon enough. His place is with some happy girl who can love him easily.” The room tilts a little. Or maybe it’s just me reacting to my thoughts.

The Capitol got its wedding. The rebellion got its war. What’s left is two kids in Victor's Village who don't realize how real their marriage is.

Katniss thinks she's not meant to be a wife. Peeta doesn't believe he's truly a husband. Haymitch just wants them to stop drinking his liquor and talk to each other.

Anonymous asked:

How long did it take for game to move on from Katniss romantically after the war? Do you think he ever did?

assuming you mean gale, probably not as long as it takes for him to get over what his bomb designs did to those little kids 😭.
